The big war is imminent, and any competition that consumes physical strength and energy is a fool's errand.

Yang Congyi's order was quickly conveyed to all armies and departments through fast horses, and this senseless marching competition came to an end.

In less than twenty miles, the armies marched at full speed, and within an hour they arrived near the camp of the Jin army.

At this time, the entire Jin Army camp was completely occupied by the Jingwu Forbidden Army that arrived half an hour in advance!

Before the army arrived, the forbidden army rushed to report to Yang Congyi: "The Jingwu Forbidden Army has completely annihilated the remnants of the Jin Battalion!" Take full control of the Jin Army camp! ”

"Where are the rest of the Jin Army now?" Yang Congyi immediately inquired, although there were scouts every quarter of an hour to report to him the movements of the Jin army, he was still afraid of variables.

"Marshal, the Jin army has crossed the river to seize the transportation camp, and the main force is still pursuing south at this time."

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Congyi led his infantry into the Jin army camp under the control of the Jingwu Forbidden Army.

After entering the camp, he received a detailed report on the battle situation: after the Jin army launched an all-out attack on the Tongyun camp, within an hour and a half, nearly 40,000 troops all crossed the canal, most of them went to pursue the Song army, and nearly 10,000 people entered the Tongyun camp, and then they grabbed supplies in the barracks without any other action. When the Jingwu Forbidden Army arrived, there were less than 3,000 left-behind troops inside and outside the entire Jin Army camp, and they were all annihilated by the Jingwu Forbidden Army in less than a quarter of an hour, and no one escaped, and there were enough grain and grass materials in the camp for 50,000 horses and half a month.

The soldiers of the whole army drank wind and ate snow in the wilderness and snow for two days, and finally reaped the rewards!

copied the camp of the Jin Army, and with this result, Yang Congyi could not hide his excitement.

But after a moment of excitement, Yang Congyi immediately ordered the infantry army to take over the internal and external defenses of the Jin army's camp, and sent half of the Jingwu Forbidden Army to attack Matou Village to support the Song army retreating from the Tongyun camp.

Now that the Jin army has entered the urn, they must not be allowed to escape easily!

Soon after the Jingwu forbidden army left the camp and went south, a small group of Jin soldiers came from the other side of the canal and went straight to the Jin army camp.

After that, several teams of golden soldiers crossed the river and entered the camp, without exception, they were ambushed by crossbow arrows just after entering the camp, and they did not even leave a single living mouth.

Half an hour later, night fell quickly, and there was no figure three feet away.

The camp of the Jin army was quickly seized by the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty, which quietly annihilated the Jin army in Haizi Village from a hundred miles away in the snow, and at this time, in the transportation camp five miles away, the victory was being celebrated in advance from top to bottom, and no one knew what had happened to the camp.

In fact, this matter is easy to understand, the reason why the Jin army set up the camp opposite the transportation camp and attacked with all its might, was not afraid of the Song army's sneak attack on the camp, just because they had long known the general situation of the deployment of the Song army's troops.

Although the Chaobai River battalion has 30,000 troops, they dare not easily dispatch, and even if they do, they do not dare to attack the Jin army, because they have almost no cavalry, not to mention the transportation battalion, they also have no cavalry, and if they can't run, it is impossible to win, not to mention that whether it is the Chaobai River battalion or the transportation battalion, they are within the sight of the Jin army, and there is no chance to divide the troops to attack the camp.

In addition, the Song army in Zhuozhou and Gu'an are all defeated troops, and the Hedgehog River camp and Haizi Village camp are in the hands of the Jin army.

Judging from the strength composition and actual situation of the four-way Northern Expedition army, they do not have the ability to sneak attack the Jin army camp, and it will not take a day to conquer the Tongyun camp and defeat the Song army on the Tongyun road, or even half a day, and then the Jin army can completely return to the army to move the materials in the camp to the transportation camp.

It can be said that under normal circumstances, the Song army would not have the slightest chance to attack the Jin army camp.

The Song army lost control of the transportation camp, and under the pursuit of the Jin army, the Song army had no ability to recapture the camp at all, so it could only fight and retreat, all the way to the south, the Jin army in less than half a day, it completely occupied the Song army's transportation camp, and assigned the camp to each army, and sent people back to the camp to prepare in advance, so that the grain and grass materials would be transferred to the transportation camp early the next morning.

Originally, everything was as expected by the Jin Army, and it was going smoothly, but the Jin Army never realized that Yang Congyi had a strange soldier in his hands, the Jingwu Forbidden Army! I didn't realize that the 10,000 Jin troops in the camp of Haizi Village would be wiped out quietly, and none of them escaped alive.

In the dark night, the lights in the transportation camp were bright, although the Jin army failed to scavenge as many materials in the camp as the Haizi Village camp, but it was not for nothing, of course, the most important thing is that they defeated the Song army and captured the strong camp built by the Song army with great effort, which is worthy of the Jin army's celebration.

In their opinion, the Song army's four-way army besieged Yanjing this time, three of which were defeated, and the remaining one road would not escape the fate of being broken by them if they did not abandon the camp and escape.

In this way, they are the heroes of the siege of Yanjing, and at this time, the final victory is close at hand!

In the camp of the Jin Army, which is five miles away from the Jin Army, there are also lights everywhere, and unlike the Jin Army, there is no celebration here, it is very quiet.

Just welcomed the 10,000 reinforcements of the Chaobai River, at this time, in addition to guarding the camp and sentry, all the 30,000 soldiers were baking their almost soaked winter clothes in front of the fire in the camp, which was the foundation of their lives in the north!

At the same time, Yang Congyi discussed with the generals of the various armies in the commander's account, assigned tomorrow's combat tasks, and discussed how to encircle and annihilate the Jin army as soon as possible, end the peripheral battles, and drive directly to Yanjing.

Of course, the most important thing in this gathering is to deploy tomorrow's battle situation, in case the Jin army finds out that the camp has been stolen, abandons the transportation camp, and scatters and flees.

Eliminating the living forces of the Jin army and weakening the defensive ability of Yanjing City were the main purposes of Yang Congyi's planning of this siege and annihilation campaign.

At this time, the canal is frozen, and people are unimpeded on the river, once the Jin army finds out that something is wrong, they flee with all their might, and only 10,000 elite forbidden troops can't kill them, if they survive the day and escape at night, there is nothing they can do.

Therefore, controlling the canal, how to trap the Jin army between the canal and the Chaobai River is the key, and this is also the difficulty.

At the moment, the cold wind is howling and the temperature is very low, even if the ice is broken, it will not take half a day for the ice to recover as before.

The whole canal, connected with the Chaobai River in the north, leads to the Xiang River in the south, from the place connected with the Chaobai River to Matou Village, about fifty miles long, after freezing, it can be passed everywhere, and if you want to defend the whole line, it is impossible to have so many troops, and once the troops are too scattered, the Jin army will attack a few points, and the entire defense line will be full of loopholes, and it will not be able to stop the Jin army at all.

In response to this problem, Yang Congyi began to think about a solution when he first planned this battle, but after thinking about it, all the tricks could not be 100% effective, and there were loopholes.

The most reliable thing to study is to pile up manpower, fight courage, and work hard!

It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to work hard, but there is no great cause in the world that can be achieved simply and easily!

The generals of the various armies quickly deployed to defend the canal, accepted orders, and reached an agreement.

The next day, an hour before dawn, 20,000 Song soldiers left the camp and rushed to the canal, today they will cut the canal ice floes by manpower, cut off the retreat of the Jin army to the west bank of the canal, and trap the Jin army in the vast wilderness between the canal and the Chaobai River.

The three-inch-thick ice is not easy to break and cut, and both infantry and cavalry are a little desperate in front of the thick ice.

With the knives and guns in their hands, the infantry cut down and pierced down, and the ice was basically unmoved, and even the knives and guns would cut through.

And the cavalry is the same, relying on the weight of the armored war horse and the soldiers, standing on the ice together, it is naturally possible to step on the ice, but at the same time as the ice breaks, the war horse will inevitably be injured by the ice floes, and the cavalry is still a cavalry without a war horse? Therefore, in the face of the canal ice floe, the cavalry could only dismount like infantry, using their knives and guns against the ice.

Fortunately, it was still early in the morning, and in the cold night, there were no gold troops stationed on the other side of the canal, and the soldiers had time.

The three-inch-thick layer of ice, without anyone disturbing it, the Song soldiers used the knives and guns in their hands, which was enough to pierce it in a quarter of an hour.

In the dark night, 20,000 soldiers lined up on the bank of the canal, which was dozens of miles long, four feet apart, and frantically dug holes in the ice by the river.

According to the requirements, each person only needs to dig three holes with the mouth of the bowl to complete the excavation task.

This task is difficult at first, but after digging a hole and mastering the skills of digging a hole on the ice, it will save you trouble and effort, and it will take little effort.

Before dawn, the task of digging holes by the armies was basically completed.

The next thing they have to do is make sure that the hole they dug won't freeze again!

This is a task that requires perseverance, and it depends on patience, because every hour and a half, the swords, guns, and blades in the hands of the soldiers will reach into the ice cave and stir it, breaking the thin ice that has just been formed, and keeping the ice cave alive.

Just before dawn, another 10,000 Song soldiers arrived on the river bank with a number of improvised ice-breaking tools, a long log, a rope, and a spear tip nailed into one end of the wood.

The fragile connections between the openings in the ice were quickly shattered by the wood lifted together or individually, and the connection between the ice and the river bank was quickly severed.

Then the wood was used as a tool, and the broken ice was used as a breakthrough to break the ice from the river bank to the river, and the wood was one zhang long, and the smashed ice was one zhang wide.

The task of splitting the ice is simpler and faster than digging a hole, the key is to watch the thick ice surface shatter, and the feeling of wanton destruction is very refreshing and enjoyable.

They smashed it all the way, as if they didn't regard ice smashing as a task, but as entertainment between wars, and they were in high spirits, and many people scrambled for it, just wanting to have a good time.
